Lisa Hammes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of professional experience. She has focused her work on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate depression, process trauma and abuse, and address parenting challenges.

Hammes brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and often uses a sense of humor when appropriate to build rapport and ease difficult conversations. She practices with an eclectic framework, tailoring methods to each person rather than applying a single model to everyone. Her primary tools include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques, selected to fit the needs of the individual.

Recognizing the courage involved in seeking change, she supports clients through the early steps of engagement and throughout their ongoing therapeutic journey, welcoming those ready to begin the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Lisa Hammes integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and supports the client as they explore their own goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Hammes works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts strategies over time so the treatment fits the individual's unique situation.
Online therapy with Hammes is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals when in-person visits are not convenient, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
